Fugitive wanted for assault on child's mother taken into custody

CLEVELAND -- A man spotlighted as a Fugitive of the Week by U.S. Marshals has been captured in Cleveland.

A tipster led marshals to East 125th Street and Kinsman early this morning where Antonio Dotson was taken into custody without incident.

Dotson was featured as a Fugitive of the Week on July 22. He was wanted by U.S. Marshals and Cleveland Police in connection with an aggravated assault from February.

The mother of Dotson's child told him she no longer wanted to be with him. Authorities say Dotson responded by punching the victim in the face and splitting open her eye. The assault took place near the 13600 block of Benwood Ave in Cleveland.

Dotson was also wanted by the Cuyahoga Co. Sheriff's Office for a probation violation.
